@LMaldari It's interesting because when I think of being empowered I have always thought of this almost corporeal feeling- it's this feeling of power grounded within myself through mind & body! Yet the definition to me is also constantly in flux #CCiFeminism

Love coming across public period talk! #PowertoThePeriod #CCiFeminism @MosbargerEliza https://t.co/NrzdR1e1ov

What would your life be like without period products? https://t.co/K3wIV2sAtQ

@ElonIndia I'M SO EXCITED she is such a great example of a politically powerful woman especially with the Madame Secretary module on the forefront of my mind! #CCiFeminism

I feel like I see Buzzfeed posting about periods a lot which is good to talk about it but also question how half the content talks about periods in a negative light; I wish more content would talk about it in a truly positive light! #MyPeriodRocks #CCiFeminism

[Rachel Ormand @rachel_ormand]

@MosbargerEliza @ElonIndia @SheTHINX @TheDivaCup What a world this would be! I have never understood,even from a young age when i first started menstruating, why sanitary products are not covered by the gov’t, especially if menstruation is tied to ‘nature’-I think this reinforces the stigma of menstruation in ways #CCiFeminism

This article depicts some great graphics depicting statistics related to women & their periods- @MosbargerEliza & I printed some out for our Moseley table today check out this article if you get a chance #PowerToThePeriod #CCifeminism https://t.co/jx5PEtUrxL via

@50ShadesFawkes @ElonIndia this is SO cool, I'm sad I missed this one! It's so interesting to think of the underlying layers of social norms & deviants of gendered norms in everyday media portrayals, especially ones directed (primarily) at adolescents! #CCiFeminism

[Rachel Ormand @rachel_ormand]

This reminds me of our convo on how feminism is becoming more trendy and talks of good feminist vs bad feminist qualities- which can be seen in this quote feminists can still enjoy makeup, clothes, fashion & be a feminist activist not afraid to speak up #SURF2018 #ccifeminism

[Rachel Ormand @rachel_ormand]

Attending fellow classmate, friend, and activist partner @MosbargerEliza SURF presentation on intersectional feminism in popular magazines #CCiFeminism so excited to hear her and support her brilliancy!

[Rachel Ormand @rachel_ormand]

Liza analyzed issues from Seventeen & Teen Vogue- she found Teen Vogue was a trailblazer for producing culturally relevant content, incorporating more women of color, and mentions of feminism #SURF2018

My sponsored ad on Instagram knows what’s up with @MosbargerEliza and I doing our pad drive this weekend and next week #CCiFeminism #PowerToThePeriod

[Rachel Ormand @rachel_ormand]

@_JacqueAnderson Couldn't agree more with this tweet from your live tweeting last night, I hope that in five years (less would be better) WGSS will become a major & Elon will continue to foster feminism & equality #CCiFeminism

[Rachel Ormand @rachel_ormand]

Also love to mention that more than one of those sisters who uplift me and empower me spoke up and asked a question, which is so important!! @MosbargerEliza

[Rachel Ormand @rachel_ormand]

Hi friends, tonight I will live tweeting Elon ‘13 alum Alanna Vagianos’ event #MeToo, Journalism, and Activism. @lannadelgrey is a HuffPost’s Women’s Reporter & I’m super excited for this and hope you all follow along! #CCiFeminism

[Rachel Ormand @rachel_ormand]

Sometimes I worry that my activist life is too separate from my greek life as well but it’s also an area I have experienced empowering women & had the opportunity to educate my peers

[Rachel Ormand @rachel_ormand]

Going to end my live tweeting loving the notion that “you’re doing everything you’re supposed to” that is mood as a girl who is so dedicated to feminism & voicing my opinion yet no clue what I’m doing post grad

[Rachel Ormand @rachel_ormand]

This anecdote Alanna is telling about this “old boys club” in the workforce is hitting a bit close to home, there is still so much fear of reporting harassment in the workforce & I greatly fear this entering the workforce post g word in 4 weeks

@MosbargerEliza @lannadelgrey Mood

[Rachel Ormand @rachel_ormand]

I agree with the problematic nature of it being “trendy” to talk about sexual assault and violence, I too recognize the need for this to first occur to gain momentum & recognization though

[Rachel Ormand @rachel_ormand]

Already correcting myself, my first tweet is meant to say I will be live tweeting this event, which is held in the Isabella Cannon room within the Performing Arts Center!

[Rachel Ormand @rachel_ormand]

Over 500 individuals disclosed what happen to them within the realm of sexual assault to Alanna she discusses the importance of self-care,which I incredibly agree with/admire Alanna’s strength+desire to help-also advocating for therapy YES we should not be afraid to ask for help
